Capital City Sports Cards in Lincoln recently hosted a RIP and Trade night as part of a nationwide effort by Topps to bring people together at local shops. Noah Griffin, the Director of Cardboard Acquisitions for the shop, emphasized the importance of such events in building the card-loving community. Trade nights not only provide opportunities for people to connect and make deals, but also serve as a way for former collectors, like Houston Korenoski, to rediscover the hobby. Korenoski mentioned that he had a large collection as a child and was excited to get back into card collecting. Jack Lipka, a 17-year-old collector, highlighted the way card collecting allows him to express his passion for sports without physically playing them. The resurgence of trading cards in recent years has been evident in Lincoln, with events like RIP and Trade nights attracting a diverse group of collectors, both old and new. These events not only foster community building but also provide a space for enthusiasts of all ages to connect over their shared love for sports cards.
